Top Three Positional Battles to Watch during Washington Commanders Preseason

Top Three Positional Battles to Watch during Washington Commanders Preseason

With preseason action in full swing across the NFL, the Washington Commanders have officially opened the doors in Ashburn with expectations a bit more lofty after an NFC Championship appearance propelled by the 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year, QB Jayden Daniels.

Today, we analyze the three most important positional battles for Washington this summer as the regular season is right around the corner.

Starting CB2: Trey Amos vs. Jonathan Jones

The Commanders were very fortunate in the second round of this past NFL Draft when Ole Miss CB Trey Amos fell into their lap with the 61st overall...

Dan Quinn: Terry McLaurin won’t play Monday night, starting return to play process

Dan Quinn: Terry McLaurin won’t play Monday night, starting return to play process

Dan Quinn spoke to reporters after today’s practice. His usual pre-practice presser was pushed back, and the team announced that WR Terry McLaurin(ankle) has been activated from the Active/PUP list. McLaurin wasn’t at practice today, and he won’t play in the team’s Monday Night Football game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Quinn said that he will ramp up as he returns to play, just like several other players that were ruled out have been. McLaurin is still seeking a new deal, but can now practice with the team when he is cleared for full participation.

Jayden Daniels and the other starters...

Commanders receiving options may not be elite, but they fit the scheme well

Commanders receiving options may not be elite, but they fit the scheme well

Much has been made of the Commanders receiving options being below-average (especially with Mclaurin not practicing this summer), however that needs to be viewed in context of Kliff Kingsbury’s offense.

Is it more important to have players who fit the scheme, or to build your scheme around the players you have?

This is the million-dollar question – and although I don’t know if I’ll be able to draw a concrete conclusion here either way, it will hopefully prompt some good discussion.


Washington’s passing game is more horizontal (underneath routes) than vertical.

Kingsbury’s hybrid Air Raid system is challenging...

The Washington Commanders activated Terry McLaurin from the PUP list

The Washington Commanders activated Terry McLaurin from the PUP list

The Washington Commanders announced that WR Terry McLaurin has been activated from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform(PUP) List. He was holding out of training camp as part of his ongoing contract dispute with the team, and was placed on the PUP list with an ankle injury when he reported after three missed practices. McLaurin has been effectively holding in as he works to get a new deal, but now he will be able to practice with the team and negotiate.

Dan Quinn’s normal pre-practice presser was moved until after practice, likely due to this announcement. McLaurin should be at practice...

Training camp notebook | Players make their cases to earn roster spots as cut day inches closer

Friday’s practice was another padded one for the Commanders. Let’s go through some of the highlights.

— Ja’Corey Brooks, one of the wide receivers looking to earn the last spot in the position group, had a pair of impressive catches in team drills. The first was a completion deep downfield on a dart from Jayden Daniels, while the second was a contested grab near the end of practice. With five receiver spots essentially locked up, Brooks...

The Washington Commanders release their second unofficial depth chart

The Washington Commanders release their second unofficial depth chart

The Washington Commanders have released an unofficial depth chart before the first preseason game, and have dropped an updated unofficial depth chart before their home game on Monday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals. These lists are released every year and coaches claim they have no input on them.

This is the second season with Adam Peters as general manager and Dan Quinn as head coach. It’s also the second full offseason under the new ownership group led by managing partner Josh Harris.

There aren’t many changes from the first unofficial depth chart, and the majority of them are on...

Mark Tyler’s initial Washington Commanders 53-man roster prediction

Mark Tyler’s initial Washington Commanders 53-man roster prediction

Every year around this time I make my initial 53-man roster prediction. Sometimes I end up making some big changes before my final one is put out, and other times it stays pretty true to my first.

In this year’s initial, I went 25 on offense and 25 on defense – with the obvious three specials teams slots.

Below are my initial predictions.


Offense: 25

QB: 3

  • Jayden Daniels
  • Marcus Mariota
  • Josh Johnson

RB: 3

  • Brian Robinson Jr.
  • Austin Ekeler
  • Bill Croskey-Merritt

WR: 6

  • Terry McLaurin
  • Deebo...

The Washington Commanders are back on the fields in Ashburn for the seventeenth day of training camp practices. They held a light “jog thru” in the new practice bubble yesterday, but were back in pads today. The team is preparing to host the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football for their second preseason game.

Several injured players returned to the practice field today including Jordan Magee, Tyler Owens, Bill, and Bobby Price who was still limited with a concussion. Some highlights from today’s practice included Ryan Kerrigan coaching up Javon Kinlaw, Jayden Daniels connecting with Ja’Corey Brooks and Zach Ertz,...
